This article critically analyses the provisions on identity theft and identity fraud in the Nigerian Cybercrime Act passed in 2015. The objective of the article is to provide answers to three pressing questions: What was the law on identity crimes before the Cybercrime Act? How has the law addressed the peculiar challenges of identity theft and identity fraud online? Are the provisions of the law adequate and if not how should the law otherwise respond? This article provides an in-depth legal analysis of the relevant provisions of the law and highlights the gaps in the law through comparative analysis with UK and US laws. While the article proposes amendments to make the Nigerian law more effective in combatting identity crime, it also invariably pushes for harmonisation and consistency in the approach of national laws to the crime.

In this issue of Kalfou, my book The White Possessive: Power, Property, and Indigenous Sovereignty receives attention from three scholars whose work I admire and respect. George Lipsitz’s The Possessive Investment in Whiteness: How White People Profit from Identity Politics was seminal in conceptualizing the possessive logics of patriarchal white sovereignty, while Fiona Nicoll’s From Diggers to Drag Queens: Configurations of Australian National Identity heavily influenced my work on the formation of white national identity.
